Patterns

Pattern recognition worksheets for classroom math centres - AB, ABC and growing patterns for early learners.

Showing 1–10 of 10 worksheets

Patterns are how kids first learn to think like mathematicians. Recognising and extending patterns builds the foundation for algebraic thinking later on.

This section has pattern worksheets for early learners, covering AB, ABC, AAB, and growing patterns. Students practise identifying what comes next, creating their own patterns, and finding the rule behind a sequence. The pages use colours, shapes, pictures, and numbers so there's variety in how the concept shows up. These are perfect for math centres, small group instruction, or independent practice at home. If a child can spot and continue a pattern, they're already doing some serious thinking.

  • Repeating pattern practice with shapes, colours, and pictures
  • Extend-the-pattern activities where students decide what comes next
  • Growing pattern introductions for students ready for a challenge
  • Create-your-own pattern pages that encourage original thinking
